What's your preferred makeup style for a day at the beach?

1. Urban Decay – Eye Shadow Primer Potion

Urban Decay – Eye Shadow Primer Potion Urban Decay’s Eye Shadow Primer Potion is hands down one of the best eye shadow primers on the market. Although the container has been revamped since I first started using this product, it is still just as amazing. Urban Decay has since added more kinds of eye shadow primers to their collection, but I’m still obsessed with the original formula. The primer is made to go on sheer so it can enhance your eye shadow without diluting the color. This primer also works great to prevent creasing. You can get this amazing primer at urbandecay.com.

2. Lime Crime – Eyeshadow Helper Waterproof Primer

Lime Crime – Eyeshadow Helper Waterproof Primer Lime Crime’s Eyeshadow Helper goes on a little thicker than some primers on the market, but you won’t notice once it is blended in. The formula is great at making your eye shadows appear more vibrant and making sure your eye makeup lasts all day and night. Since it is waterproof, you don’t have to worry about the weather or if you have oily eyelids. Since this product is made to stick, it’s best to use a waterproof makeup remover in order to take it off. You can order this primer at limecrime.com.

3. Too Faced – Shadow Insurance – anti-Crease Eyeshadow Primer

Too Faced – Shadow Insurance – anti-Crease Eyeshadow Primer Too Faced has a great primer called Shadow Insurance. Shadow Insurance is formulated with silicone to bond your eye shadow to your eyelids. Aside from making sure your color will stick, Shadow Insurance also fights creasing, flaking, and fading. This primer works great with all eye shadows, but it works especially well with those tricky cream shadows. You can get Shadow Insurance at toofaced.com.

4. Smashbox – 24 Hour Photo Finish Shadow Primer

Smashbox – 24 Hour Photo Finish Shadow Primer This primer is guaranteed to last for a full 24 hours. Smashbox has made their Photo Finish Shadow Primer sweat and humidity resistant, so you can face the day no matter what comes your way. The formula makes sure your shadow sticks to your eyelids without fading, smudging, creasing, or smearing. You can get this primer by visiting smashbox.com.

5. Anastasia Beverly Hills – Beauty Genius Clear Waterproofing Gel

Anastasia Beverly Hills – Beauty Genius Clear Waterproofing Gel Anastasia’s Beauty Genius Clear Waterproofing Gel primer is made to work with powders and pigments. This product will even work great with loose glitter! This product makes sure your shadow will stay put all day long.

The unique formula uses polymers and mineral powder to get a firm hold on your shadows so they’ll stay in place. This primer will increase the longevity of your shadows all while preventing smudging.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I went to Sephora today to get a new eye shadow palette, and one of the consultants suggested Urban Decay's primer. (#1) I'm going to give it a try tomorrow. I haven't used primer in a while, and I can't remember which one I use to use.

Make up forever...

I will start priming!
